Eyes on the f ’row

Focusing on the hottest new trends requires perfect vision. But who is the fairest glasses-wearer of them all? Karen Dacre and Specsavers frame stylist Natasha Gray spot their favourite specswearing style plates

Tine Tempah The fashion editor says: If anyone knows how to rock a smart casual combo, it’s Tinie. The British Fashion Council ambassador is an expert when it comes to balancing high and low clothing combinations. Here he combines a Savile Row suit with patent high-tops for masterful effect. Natasha says: Tinie shows that he is bang on trend in a retro-inspired, round-eyed design. Clearly, this man knows his fashion in frames. He could try some large, square frames.

Henry Holland The fashion editor says: Holland’s style USP is formal wear for the 21st century. Updating the classic threepiece with trainers — Nike Frees — a crisp white shirt and his favourite Katie Hillier gold necklace, he achieves a look that oozes contemporary cool. An avid spectacles-wearer, Henry looks best in glasses in warm shades of tan and gold. The sky-high quiff also helps. Natasha says: Henry Holland’s square-shaped spectacles work well as they offset the appearance of the height of his hair and his long face shape. Henry could try moving into the new fashion in frames for blue or green glasses. The tri-colour, deepblue, square-shaped frame might be an appealing alternative to tortoiseshell.

Jenna Lyons The fashion editor says: For a guide to mastering fashion week attire, style plates should look to American’s queen of J Crew. The brand’s creative director is a relative master in the art. Witness her here as she braves snowstorms in New York in dungarees and a parka. The addition of the electric-blue stiletto adds a hint of glamour to this look. Natasha says: Jenna is a style ambassador for her statement specs as much as she is for women worldwide. Her glasses could seem severe but her easy, informal style and smile soften her look. It is difficult to suggest something different for one of the most stylish women around — she could wear most shapes, so perhaps she’d like to try a new serious, statement style from Karl Lagerfeld.

Lupita Nyong’o The fashion editor says: It’s little wonder Calvin Klein was so keen to have actress of the moment Nyong’o positioned perfectly on its front-row. The 31-year-old, occasional glasses- wearer makes for a showstopping ambassador of the clean and serene aesthetic the label epitomises. The addition of white sandals lends Nyong’o’s look a playful edge. Natasha says: Lupita looks great in her teacup-shaped statement specs. Between her delicate, white dress and her serious spectacles lies the perfect juxtaposition. With her specs, she is saying that she should be taken seriously. With her outfit and pink lipstick, she is also showing her feminine side. The teacup style flatters her heart-shaped face. The frame works well in contrast to her deep forehead and means that we focus on her face. Lupita could try an acetate style with adjustable nose pads to fit elegantly on the low bridge of her nose.
